James Martin, a priest and an editor of the Jesuit magazine America, said that, as someone with a foot in each camp, he believes reporters at The Times work hard to get stories right, though he sometimes questions the prominence and frequency of articles about the church's sex scandal.
Articles about fear of crime were sorted by zone of publication, and an index of exposure, based upon the frequency of articles reporting crimes, was created.
Bailey (1990) studies the frequency of articles in 10-word samples from Macaulay's "Essay on Milton", counting the number of occurrences of articles 'the'a''and and 'an' as a means to infer the author's style.
PubMed, Citation Index and Cochrane searches determined the frequency of articles using these types of minimization and a subset was selected for detailed review regarding the adequacy of the usage and reporting of minimization.
Figure 1 displays the frequency of articles included in the analysis by year of publication.
The frequency of articles reporting on both employment and well-being increased significantly over time (p=0.002 and p=0.006, respectively).
Figure 1 depicts the frequency of articles about skin cancer and recreational tanning published in the magazines for each year of the study (M = 63.4, SD = 13.9).
There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of articles mentioning any of the risk factors for skin cancer before relative to after the IARC report.
The findings were mixed for changes in the frequency of articles which mentioned, and images which depicted, UV behaviors before compared to after the IARC report (Table 3).
However, given the high frequency of articles reporting only relative effect measures, and the consistency across journals, outcomes, and exposures, we think it unlikely that an expanded set of articles or journals would produce substantively different results.
